Trusted, and built for fairness
IELTS is jointly owned by IDP, the British Council and Cambridge. That partnership sets the standard the whole sector follows. With over 30 years behind it and millions of tests a year, IELTS is recognised for high-stakes study, work and migration decisions worldwide.
IELTS Speaking is assessed face-to-face by a trained examiner. Many test-takers find a real conversation less stressful and more representative of their ability than speaking to a machine.
